Winnipeg police have issued a warrant for a man they allege randomly attacked a man at The Forks earlier this month. Daniel Christopher Dumas, 33, is wanted following an assault at The Forks on June 6. According to police, a 33-year-old man was assaulted randomly and beaten until he was unconscious. He was later taken to the hospital in stable condition. Police allege Dumas was also involved in two other incidents on June 7, one of which was a random attack. At 12:05 a.m., police said Dumas assaulted a 37-year-old woman standing in line at a beer vendor in the 600 block of Westminster Avenue, stealing her purse. Then at 1:39 a.m., police said Dumas broke into a garage at a home in River Heights and rummaged through a vehicle inside. They said he tried to break into the home as well, but was not successful. None of the charges have been proven in court. Police say Dumas is five-foot-eight, weighs 150 pounds and has a thin build. Police say he should not be approached, as he is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about his location is asked to call the major crimes unit at 204-986-6219.

Glasgow: Plans for 25-storey student block approved
Plans for student accommodation for more than 400 people in Glasgow city centre have been given the City Council approved a 25-storey residence on the site of a former office building at Hydepark Street, close to the riverside, which collapsed earlier this year. Graham Investment Projects' £70m bid received 10 objections in resident in the neighbouring River Heights flats at Lancefield Quay claimed people were considering moving out if the student flat plans went ahead, while others shared concerns over noise, privacy and light restriction. The new development will be twice the size of their previous property on the Hydepark Street site was awaiting a controlled demolition when it suffered a collapse earlier this year. Lancefield Quay resident Aaron Hepburn said there had been "six months of mismanaged demolition"."Our building shook violently on a daily basis, causing floors to wobble, items to fall off shelves, fixtures and fittings to shake, cracks to appear and ceiling collapse," he Hepburn believes construction of the new development would "render River Heights almost inhabitable for two or three years". The land is "unsuitable for development of this size", he council planners said the new development "aligns with the changing context of the surrounding area where a number of tall buildings are coming forward and height has been accepted in terms of townscape and as a means of re-densifying the city centre and riverside area".Councillors voted eight to two in favour of the proposal. Developers said the 410-bed student block is "a key milestone in bringing forward much-needed, high-quality student accommodation in Glasgow".The plans include a reception, roof terraces, a game area and lounge, a cinema, a group study area, a karaoke room, an e-games room, a fitness room, a social laundry, and a quiet study room."Transforming a disused brownfield site into a vibrant living environment is a clear example of how targeted investment can support both education and regeneration," council planners developers previously proposed 144 build-to-rent flats on the site, but submitted a new application last year, with student accommodation provider Fresh lined up to manage the design of the building is said to take inspiration from the Seagram building, a 38-storey skyscraper on Park Avenue in New is expected to start this year and be complete in time for the 2028 academic intake.
